Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your information.

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Who We Are

JonesLabs LLC ("JonesLabs," "we," "us," or "our") is a small software company based in Atlanta, Georgia. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit joneslabs.dev (the "Site") and when you use our native applications for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch (the "Apps").

Information We Collect

Contact Form Submissions

When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you provide: your name, email address, phone number (optional), company name (optional), and message. This information is sent to us via email through Resend, our email delivery provider, and is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

Automatically Collected Information

We automatically collect certain information when you visit the Site:

  • IP addresses are processed temporarily for rate limiting on the contact form (limited to 3 submissions per 15 minutes). IP addresses are stored in server memory only and are not persisted to any database or log file. They are cleared when the server restarts.
  • Analytics data is collected through Umami (self-hosted) and Cloudflare Web Analytics. Umami is a privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics platform hosted on our own infrastructure. No personal data is collected or shared with third parties. Analytics data includes pages visited, referring URLs, browser type, device type, and general geographic location. This data is aggregated and used to understand how visitors use the Site.

Local Storage

We store a single preference in your browser's local storage (joneslabs-dark-mode) to remember your dark mode setting. This is not a cookie, is never sent to our servers, and contains no personal information.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your contact form inquiries
  • Send you a confirmation email when you submit the contact form
  • Protect the Site from spam and abuse (rate limiting, bot detection)
  • Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process data on our behalf:

Cookies

We do not set any first-party cookies. Our analytics provider (Umami) is cookie-free. However, third-party services we use (Cloudflare) may set their own cookies to provide security features. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings.

Our iOS & macOS Apps

JonesLabs builds native apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Unless a specific app is called out otherwise below, every JonesLabs app follows the same rules:

  • No data collection. Our apps contain no analytics SDKs, no advertising, and no trackers. We do not collect, transmit, or store your personal information or your content.
  • No JonesLabs accounts or servers. Our apps do not require an account with us. Your content stays on your device (and in your personal iCloud account if an app offers iCloud sync) — we never see it.
  • Purchases are handled by Apple. App and in-app purchases are processed entirely by the App Store. We receive aggregated sales reports from Apple and never see your payment details or identity.
  • Support. If you contact us about an app, we handle your message the same way as contact form submissions described above.

SereneReader

SereneReader is the exception to the "no accounts or servers" rule above: it is a feed reading service with native apps. It requires a SereneReader account and syncs your feed subscriptions, folders, and reading activity through SereneReader servers so they stay consistent across your devices and the web app. Subscriptions purchased in the apps are processed by Apple; purchases made on the web are processed by our payment provider. SereneReader's data practices are covered in full by its own policy at serenereader.com/privacy, which governs wherever the two documents differ.

Google User Data (Pulse for Google Analytics)

Our app Pulse connects to your Google account using the read-only scope analytics.readonly so it can display your Google Analytics data on your devices. Specifically:

  • Access. Pulse reads Google Analytics reporting data and your list of Analytics properties. Access is read-only; Pulse cannot change anything in your Google account.
  • Use. Data is retrieved directly from Google's APIs to your device and used solely to display your statistics in the app, its widgets, the Apple Watch app, and the Mac menu bar.
  • Storage. Sign-in tokens are stored in your device's Keychain, and recent statistics are cached on your device so widgets can display them. Nothing is stored on JonesLabs servers — the app has none.
  • Sharing. We do not transfer Google user data to JonesLabs or to any third party, do not use it for advertising, and do not use it to train AI or machine-learning models. Pulse's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
  • Revocation and deletion. Signing out in the app deletes its tokens and cached data, and deleting the app removes everything it stored. You can also revoke Pulse's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information transmitted through the Site. All traffic is served over HTTPS with HSTS preloading. We implement Content Security Policy headers, input sanitization on all form submissions, and rate limiting to prevent abuse. Contact form data is sanitized with DOMPurify before processing.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are delivered to us via email and retained in our email inbox. We do not store form submissions in a separate database. IP addresses used for rate limiting are held in server memory for up to 15 minutes and are not persisted.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you. To make a request, use the contact form on the Site. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are located in California, the European Economic Area, or another jurisdiction with applicable data protection laws, you may have additional rights under those laws.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
